i love rainbows

pancakes on sunday mornings

2012-01-29T13:44:00.000+08:00

let's begin another entry with "it really sucks"...

it really sucks when you wake up late on a weekend since you lose like almost half the day.

so by the time you want to eat breakfast, half an hour later its already time for lunch -____-"

THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED BRUNCH.

on the other hand, waking up late means that you get to top up the sleep you lost during the weekdays.

its not really a healthy choice since it disturbs your sleeping pattern

but those feeeew minutes of extra sleep is just toooo hard to resist.

no blue skies today, woke up to a cloudy sunday. hmph.

i went to batu pahat last week with akmal.

yad's eldest sister's wedding. it was suppose to be an overnight trip, turned to be a memorable day trip.

so whoooooo got stuck in that horrible festive season+end long weekend jammmm?

*angkat tangan*

but it wasn't as bad as the one on saturday. i heard saturday was the worst.

so the 3 hour trip took us 4.5 hours.

spent a few hours at the wedding, by the time we reached there it was nearly the end.

got to hang out with yad and luqe. i miss these people

kami akan ke disneyland paris tahun 2014 nanti.

heheh. insyaallah.

had a light bite and hot drink at rengit coffee. seeeedap. waffles dia sedap.

i think semua sedap lah. so itu hang out place baru dekat batu pahat sebab tempat lain tak ada.

(tempat lain referring to selangor and kuala lumpur lah)

im not sure when but most probably the next day, i had a huuuuuge craving for fish and chips.

but not the one at fish n co. so the boyfriend and i went to dome to try out theirs.

not bad! i'd go there again.

but the picture above attracted me the most.

all day breakfast with the fry-ups n everything.

the morning after, i had a new craving for that sort of breakfast.

so i ended up cooking this *points to the picture below*

smug face. ALMOST the same kan?

RM25.00 eat your heart out. the one above isn't even RM10.00. haha

to be honest, this is the household lazy food when abang is a round and mama malas nak masak.

so we have a fry-up. regardless if it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

but there'd be the chips. i malas nak goreng chips.

haaaaaa... have you guys tried this?

1 small shot contains 1kg of vegetables.

i know fawah has.

and so its my turn. introduced by izwan.

i just drank 1 shot of grass. wheatgrass. tastes like grass.

like during high school you lie down on the field after a tiring netball match.

and you accidentally ate grass when you turn on your sides to check out other matches?

it tastes the same. but 1kg of vegetables? no problem!

(i havent been able to poo yet eversince.)

oh one more thing,

im not allergic to cats anymore.

over-exposure resulted in my allergies succumbing to those feline fur-balls.

im not actually sure whether thats a good thing or not.

Taksub

2012-01-27T00:04:00.001+08:00

It's a sucky feeling when you try so hard to impress or when you just put so much effort into something, and at the end of the day, it's not what they want. Or they want something else. Or even they want somebody else. Makes you feel so disappointed and then you feel guilty. And then you hum coldplay's fix you. Could it be wo-orse. When you try your best but you dont succeed. And then that face which says you havent tried hard enough. Im a runner anyway. Im good at running away.

silly

2012-01-24T22:45:00.002+08:00

found this while blog-hopping

spot on.

after this we just talk to our friends sitting next to us via our phone just to get their attention.

macam dalam movie Beastly tu.

texted his father who was sitting next to him in the kitchen just to inform the father that there will be an event tomorrow.

the beginning of when virtual reality actually becomes a reality.

and its sad.

20.01.2012 the day i was called

2012-01-24T10:51:00.000+08:00

first of all, a very good morning from chenonet and i!

happy chinese new year!

and happy tuesday!!!

chenonet dok nyebok nak tengok computer. but he's very obedient. suruh duduk diam-diam, he'll sit. and starts purring.

my hati cair already pagi-pagi ni.

chenonet..chenonet...

now i have no idea where he is.

exploring around the house kot.

another shout out to my big brother who sent me this on the morning of my call.

while waiting for my turn, my phone wouldn't stop vibrating

checked to see that people were commenting on a picture of me.

(takkan la papa sneakily tangkap gambar in the court (which he did and tak 'silent'kan phone... so dok bunyi KACEEEK KACEEEEK everytime) and sent it to abang who uploaded it on facebook )

tahu-tahu it was this picture.

oh and this is the only picture that i had the most "like"s from others. dan itupun bukan gambar saye. pfft!

heheh.

thanks abang!

so the long call ceremony... was quite long.

haha.

we had 12 petitioners. and i was number 9.

and we started late because the judge wanted to wait for the coram to be completed before starting.

and i have never met a more "relaxed" judge. she was suuuuuper sporting.

it made the ceremony less formal and more bearable.

both my parents really enjoyed it because there was so much interactions going on from the judge and the parents and the movers and the masters.

i'm happy because they're happy

pictures!!

no pictures of the judge or my master because i want to keep them a secret! hush hush!

with mama and papa and the boyfriend in my jedi attire.

with fyza and ida and akmal who also got called with me.

thank you fyza for the beautiful flowers! at this moment they're in a vase on my right, and are dying a slow and painful death

hahahahaha

and thank you ida for coming!!!

oh ini gambar candid yang saya jumpa dalam camera.

with the boyfriend.

tak tahu siapa yang tangkap. but thank you to the person who did!

in my speech i thanked God, mama and papa and abang danial,

and ima and jihad and fyza and akmal

and izwan

and my master and ida's master

and i congratulate the other petitioners who were also present that day

and i ended with tough times never lasts tough people do

that chloe phase

2012-01-19T08:58:00.002+08:00

there's a "chloe" everywhere

1. last week the boyfriend and i were talking about this chloe perfume he purchased at the airport.

2. yesterday i watched this weird vampire child movie Let Me In starring chloe moretz

gruesome but weirdly attractive

3. this morning i bumped into that pregnant mother with her young daughter having breakfast at dunkin doughnuts. maybe the daughter's name is chloe too.

they look so cute together. may God bless them always.

4. came into the office and a friend posted up this video on his facebook, and its a good start for the day

enjoy!

the best concert so far

2012-01-15T13:11:00.000+08:00

i went to catch simple plan last night with the bf.

it has been 10 years since they started sharing their music with us

and i lost my voice at the end of it

my ears were ringing and my throat was dry and my voice sounded croaky

nak upload the videos tapi tak dapat

so nanti lah when i figure that out (which might be never)

did you guys know that ryan from hitz.fm is actually quite hot?

hehehe

and hes super tall too he had to bend his knees a bit for me

awwwww

and this is our satisfied faces

izwan senyum okay

nampak gigi pulak tuuuuuuu

yup its the best concert so far

im watching the videos over and over and over again

friday the 13th

2012-01-13T08:40:00.001+08:00

two of my favourite songs being mashed up

happy friday. happy weekend.

lots to do.

lots to think about.

i did something new (not so new, but with different effect) last night. after 24 years.

i talked to God. before i went to sleep.

although i ended up sleeping late and waking up with swollen eyes.

i had a very nice sleep.

you should try it too.

He is everywhere.

and He is ever helpful at times when humans are not.
actually, He is helpful. All the time!

la-ser-taaaaaaaag lasertag!

2012-01-08T11:48:00.000+08:00

was treated to some lasertag action yesterday by bebert and kak aida.

not all the cuzzies managed to make it, but it was real good fun.

i brought ima along, and we arrived sort of early despite believing that we were late.

wolfed down some sushi we bought at a random sushi stall in the middle of the mall

then went to the foodcourt to try some vegetarian food

hey, a girl has get some carbs in before a work out kay?

an empty tummy is a cranky izzati.

so here you have vegetarian chicken made from tofu.

top left is dry curry style, and right is sweet sour

and potatoes...

looks good tapi tak sedap langsung.

and tanak cuba dah dekat kedai tu.

heheheheheh.

okay back on lasertag.

you get to wear this super cool futuristic body gear, attached to a gun.

the first game we played was individual game.

so we get to shoot at each other (body,back,shoulders,gun) and earn points.

if you get shot pewpew, then the cool futuristic body gear will shut down for 7 seconds

(which gives you the opportunity to run around like a headless chicken to find another hiding spot)

ooooooooo if you shoot three different targets consecutively without getting shot, your gun akan jadi lagi POWER!

it'll be upgraded to a machine gun! pewpewpewpewpewpew

first time masuk, nervous, because it was all dark.

and you cant smile, because the UV light will make your teeth shine extra white and it enables your enemy to spot you from miles away.

no running! they said. no tailing! they said.

but in the end, to hell with the rules! pewpewpewpew

a group photo after the first individual game

the score board

guess who's subzero

*smug face*

*blows smoking gun*

*flicks hair*

getting psyched up while waiting for the next round

it only lasted for 10 minutes, but you sweat like you've been running the treadmill for 30 minutes okay!

ada bukti yang orang lain pun sweat as much.

see the wanted here.

see top left? he's sweating like mad.

hehehe

the power team.

i love "ali"

the second round, we went into groups. red. green. and accidentally there was blue.

red and green consisted of the cuzzies and i. i was in green.

blue team was a family that joined later. poor family. they became the targets. because instead of attacking the reds, we targeted the blue more.

*family comes first mode*

hahahah.

oh there were special targets too this time around.

a blue LED tower and a snake with eggs which can earn you 5000 points each.

*mata besar*

so that's what i did. shoot at the blue tower and the blue team. a few red too.

and asyik ter-shoot bebert eventhou he's green -___-"

muka ima yang happy gila

Miss Maximus

the couple who sponsored everything!

thank youuuuuu

*courtsies*

the debuting couple.

hahahah.

the highschool team!

go team!

another group photo right after the second round

my partner in destroying the blue LED tower

heheheh

posing macho lettew

so we were beaten by the red team by by 1000 points! pfft.

ooooo but look who got the highest score again

subzero? sape tu?

hehehehe

*blows smoking gun and skips away*

go with your friends, go with your family, dress sporty and bring a change of clothes.

first for 2012

2012-01-01T23:31:00.001+08:00

the first best thing that happened this year

the BF accompanied me jogging

although he didn't jog with me... but still he waited. so that's pretty sweet don't you think?

all together now... "awwwwwwwwww"

hope to go jogging again tomorrow.

it's tonight!

2011-12-31T00:26:00.002+08:00

i havent done my list yet

hi izzati! how are you? remember me? =)

2011-12-30T16:33:00.001+08:00

by the time this post is published... it has already been a year!

so tell me, hows everything?

1. hows work?

you just got THAT call and you'll be starting work in a week's time. best tak pupillage? looking at the time, you should be called to the bar already? are you still a lawyer? do you like what you're doing? heheh

2. hows your family?

abang danial dah nak grad kan? and papa is suppose to be in the process of retirement (i sure hope so). and mama? mama dah tanam tak pokok2 bunga tu? never ever forget your family okay? remember that.

3. how are your friends?

i hope youre still friends with ima. haha. itu tak payah hope, i KNOW youre still friends with ima.

and jihad. yup2. you're still friends with her too. sebab dua-dua kawan sampai mati. =)

fyza and akmal and adlin and classmates and uni friends? dah buat reunion belum? remember that reunion for EROX! you're suppose to have a bbq at your house! have you done it? pokcik's second baby will be a year older now.

4. hows your love life?

still going strong i hope! at the moment you're going through the student-employee transition. so the lovelife now is being tested a lot, but you're still holding on and flowing! remember papa said, even though you're flowing, you still have to put a bit of tiny stones here and there and maybe a big rock sometimes. i hope you're still happy and entering the two-and-a-half year mark!

BUT, theres always a but. if anything happens along the way, dont worry about it much. i hope you moved on well with your life and is HAPPY.

5. hows adam doing?

you just sent him for his first polishing a fortnight ago. and you vowed to keep him in proper shape! like brand new! take care of the insides and out. Ron95, then Ron97 every end of the month. tyres are shiny, dashboards are shiny too. and does he still smells goooooood? gosh i love him to bits. the best gift ever.

***

thats all, five questions.

and finally, hows this blog doing? hahaha. good traffic?

count your blessings

2011-12-29T21:06:00.002+08:00

so, 2 days left.

i suggest you make a list of it all.

i hope to draw up mine by this saturday.

flashback

2011-12-22T23:16:00.001+08:00

1. turning into somebody i thought i would never be.
i bet if he sees me now he'll say "i told you so, remember?"

2. the sporting girlfriend

3. #bunuhdiri
so much for spending 4 years in law school.

new bank notes

2011-12-22T10:15:00.003+08:00

bangga taaaaaaak?

saya bangga.

the last run for this year, malakoff!

2011-12-21T16:19:00.001+08:00

one of my favourite runs. the other being the putrajaya night run.

managed to check the actual results today. VERY disappointed with my maths skills.

i thought i completed the run in 46 minutes, boy was i wrong.

here's the official time from the timing chip

56 minutes 29 seconds

for 7 kilometres, that's quite slow.

last year's time was 55 minutes. hahaha.

pictures are courtesy of akmal and yad.

as usual, after the run, its the breakfast session at mcD.

fyza and farah (yad's sister) joined us there.

with our goodie bags and ready to go home.

group photo!

with ima!

ran in my new nike tempo shorts! the one i bought using the 20% discount i got from we run kl's offer.

love it to bits. need not wear underwear! hahaha im kidding.

now i want a purple and pink one! ish.

as what jihad wrote at her caption: our 10th gathering together this year

since everybody started that new phase in life.

missing cat found

2011-12-12T23:37:00.001+08:00

i lost my cat 6 days ago. chenonet. it got scared by the grass cutter so it ran off and never came back. we waited. not back yet. then it started to rain. so maybe he went looking for a shelter. we waited. he never came back. then the day turned to night and we waited more. he never came back. then one afternoon turned to one night, then it became two days, then it became a 4 days, and then a week. i kept on calling his name everyday but he never came back.

everybody mourned. we grew attached to these cats.

this morning papa woke up and walked in while i was having breakfast. he said he was going to go for a walk and look for chenonet. i said okay.

then papa walked in again while i was in the shower. PAPA DAH JUMPA CHENONET. alhamdulillah.

went downstairs with shampoo in my hair and watched chenonet eating like there was no tomorrow. poor cat. he was starving. it took us half the day, but he's all calmed down now and back to his old self, with those pity eyes and that prince charming attitude of his.

its quite sad that papa found him a bit starved. at least he's alive and well. he responded to his name so that's good. and later i discovered that his whiskers were trimmed very short. no wonder he couldnt find his way home! poor kitty.

cat's whiskers are very important! i was informed by a good source (the BF) and confirmed by reading this here

know your sources well people!

so now all four of them are sleeping in the cage in the kitchen. we brought the cage in from the back porch in case somebody might try to kidnap chenonet tonight.

batu pahat to melaka

2011-12-04T11:29:00.001+08:00

ha... ni la the infamous jonker street.

semua orang tahu jonker street tu apa. tapi bila tanya A Famosa kat mana, semua orang cakap A Famosa tu jauh lagi.

A Famosa dekat tepi highway lah, tak boleh jalan kaki lah, etc etc. disappointed with the melaka people, tsk tsk... especially the people at the jonker street. tak tahu A Famosa dekat mana. ish ish.

in the end, we got the directions to the "red buildings" and st. paul's hill

spot the newlyweds. ramai gila okay!

the ceremonial picture with the canon

this building looks cute

beca! tapi tak naik sebab i notice that all the beca would play music continuously. bising... tak boleh fikir.

so tak naik. tengok orang naik jer.

mazda 323. spotted at the foot of the hill.

papa calls this mazda untuk tarzan. sebab 323 "tree to tree"

get it?

HAHAHAHAHA

gambar-gambar pop band sebelum sampai the church

they're actually tombs. how ignorant of us. and each of them are inscribed with the name of the person beneath our feet, who they are, what were their contributions to the society etc.

and a hell lot of graffiti too. pfft.

a few shots trying to capture the evening sun at the back.

the view from the top is quite nice really. soft cool breeze and you can smell a bit of the ocean air.

dah lama tak hidu bau laut. best.

aiman getting some enlightenment

taming sari from afar. dia tak naik lagi, and we have nooo idea how to get there. in the end we skipped it.

muzeum pengangkutan! main game stop the train!

the part where i discovered that my upper body muscles are very weak.

*wall climbing*

ini lawak

ayu!! our body guard!

haaaa... ni lah A Famosa! Ayu's determination that led us the way. hehe

read up the 1511 history okay.

but i wont blame you because if you google A Famosa je, A'Famosa resort will be the first thing that pop up

muka excited jumpa A Famosa!

so after all that walking, we walked back to jonker street in hoping to stop by at our guest house, shower then off to alai for some seafood.

change of plans instead, the excuse is not to waste time and also not to waste clothes.

dengan busuk-busuk nye naik kereta jihad dan drive pergi alai.

it turns out that alai is located next to umbai. like literally next door! but some claimed that alai is cheaper than umbai.

so we gave it a go.

and laughed off the bill accidentally because it was cheaper than expected

imagine this

sotong 10 ekor goreng tepung, ikan siakap yang paling besar masak 3 rasa, ikan pari bakar, butter prawn 10 ekor, mussels goreng sambal, kangkung belacan, otak-otak, orange juice 2 jugs and limau ais 1 jug.

and we only paid RM28 per person.

THAT.IS.BLOODY.CHEAP.OKAY.

semua happy lepas tu.

so go try alai.

we wanted to go on melaka cruise, but arrived there quite late, around 10.30 and the queue was long, it closes at 11pm. skip it. but took pictures at the entrance. hehe

our final day, had breakfast at pizza hut. it was a sunday, and its quite hard to find a restaurant that serves breakfast. most of the shops that opens on a sunday morning are chinese restaurants, dan kami waswas.

pizzahut it is, since akmal was craving for the cheesy pizza. sedap, tapi jelak sebab banyak sangat cheese. i had to scrape my off in the end, after 2 slices. hehe

we then went to jonker street again to try out the cendol and ABC

boleh laaaaaaa tahan

dropped by at the A Famosa resort that everybody knows.

wanted to go to cowboy town but it only opens in the evening.

kesiaaaaan jihad.

pastu akmal pun baca reviews, tak best daaaaaaah. and too pricey.

(apparently semua tempat yang kitorang pergi semua dah tak best. except for ALAI. hehe)

the journey home, ikut jalan kampung-kampung di negeri sembilan.

adam is fine, the rear window shattered like hell. but we got it fixed immediately the next day at dr. cermin. within 2 hours, for RM300. not bad eh?

couldn't figure out how it happened though.

maybe someone tried to break in

maybe someone threw a stone at it

maybe adam merajuk sebab through out the whole journey, me and the guys were talking about our dream cars.

hehe.

chuffed runner

2011-11-30T19:12:00.001+08:00

(credits to akmal for the pictures!)

achieved number 377 for women's under 25

1 hour 23 minutes 14 seconds for 10 kilometres

here's the memento video they prepared:

http://www.nikerunning.com.my/werun10k/result/result-share.php?id=2201&bib=25341

oooooo best gila!!

and i'm super chuffed with myself. the last time i felt like this was during the 2010's energizer night race

can't wait for next year's run
and cannot wait for malakoff's in a few week's time.

riot against cold toasts

2011-11-28T08:03:00.001+08:00

i hate cold toasts. i hate it when by the time you spread butter on toast, it doesn't melt. then you spread the jam, and by the time you bite into it, it's chewy instead of crispy. i need to have my toast hot, there and then. i can tolerate a cold toast but i have to make sure that the butter is all melted on it before biting it.

tak suke cold toasts!

i was told that i'm fickle by the one who know's me best. that's hilariously new.

and i have learned that not everybody shares the same dream. your dream might be a burden to others. so share your dream wisely. perceptions and criticisms are the easiest way out

oooooooooooooooo besarnya!

2011-11-24T20:33:00.001+08:00

with the new blogger layout, i can insert images in its original size and it'll be huuuuuuge!! ooooo besarnya!!! you can actually see ME in comel's eyes! my goodness AWESOME!!

sungai buloh to batu pahat

2011-11-23T10:47:00.001+08:00

adam did 681.2km last weekend.

sungai buloh-kota damansara-batu pahat-melaka-kota damansara-sungai buloh

to tell you the truth i think he couldve made the whole journey with one tank of petrol only.

but we decided against it so aiman filled him up at batu pahat before we started the melaka journey when he was only half tank full

all in all, i finally got my roadtrip. finally visited jihad. and finally went to melaka. OH SO AWESOME!

the journey was quite a handful too. hehe.

and i have to admit, although i am not a fan of that GPS gadget, it did help us a lot in unknown cities.

well its KNOWN cities with CLUELESS visitors like us.

so here goes. the report back of what actually happened.

akmal and aiman started their roadtrip north, on a bus first, to kedah (langkawi) and penang.

i joined them halfway to complete the southern part.

we started around 11.30am. the weather was so kind. it was cloudy. so that was a good drive.

we ended up missing the junction to ayer keroh's R&R because of nelson.

Nelson is a random person the guys met on the train. assuming he was a con man, or a human being who was indeed telling the truth.

but with aiman's interrogative skills, i believe that he is a con man.

so our pit stop was at kampung bemban's lay by, the one after ayer keroh R&R.

(there's a new term here, "Lay By" is for the small stops with the little huts, and toilet and a small stall that sells fruits, usually they don't have any petrol station. "R&Rs" are for the bigger ones, commonly with food courts and petrol stations and a baskin robbins)

kampung bemban is where i bought a packet of fruits that tasted delicious but was charged for RM2 a packet.

gilabapakmahal. tapi sedap. tapi masih gilabapakmahal.

(kalau tak terlepas ayer keroh, mesti buah kat situ lagi murah)

we reached batu pahat around 2pm

jihad cooked! as expected! hehehe

ayam masak lemak okay. with cili api. that signature ingredient. pedas gila. tapi sedap.

and since akmal nak rasa sangat briyani gam batu pahat, she bought us those too!!

but what jihad cooked tastes better than the briyani. heheh.

then it was sightseeing! since we have time to kill before our appointment with our makcik tempe.

Tasik Y

Kena buat bentuk Y

betuk Y lagi

oh dan lagi bentuk Y

oh ni jihad, macam la tak kenal kan? she's wearing braces now. hot pink!

ni la tugu batu pahat. ada batu, ada pahat, tangan memahat pun ada.

Pantai Minyak Beku

sexy back. the guys were checking out something

ikan saya lupa nama dia apa

plenty of jellyfish

camwhore at minyak bekuuuuu

see the boat? its really really small in this picture, i wanted to take a picture with a boat.

takpelah small boat pun.

by the time we drove out, a bigger boat stopped by at the jetty, pfft.

*drives away*

along the way out to the main road, we saw a couple of cute houses

dream house dream house!

*mengade*

but they were really cute i must say. newly built i think. once the garden matures, it should look fine.

the next time i go visit, i'll take a picture of these two houses again

Makcik Tempe Goreng

almost every day during chambering i know jihad will go eat tempe.

she'll text me saying she's eating tempe, she'll update her status on facebook that she's eating tempe, she'll write on people's wall to go eat tempe with her.

i get it. tempe tu sedap. i like tempe toooooo.

so she told the makcik to make sure that her shop opens on the day we go visit. so that we can eat tempe too.

jawo bona kito neh.

tapi betul. tempe makcik tu sedap.

and the sauce, perrrrrgh. pedas, (again with the cili api here. stressing that orang batu pahat suka cili api)

if it wasn't for the very hot sauce, i would've finished my plate.

tiba2 ada kerang rebus.

its tempe with kerang rebus. so we ordered the lot. hehe.

the dish is quite simple really.

tempe goreng tepung, tauhu goreng tepung, sengkuang and taugeh. with a special sauce and garnished with some peanuts.

but the tempe and tauhu was full of flavour. lain sebab berlemak. crispy on the outside and soft in the inside.

sedaaaaaaaaaap. tapi pedas so takleh habis.

i was already crying halfway sebab ~~pedas~~ sedap sangat

i'm not going to tell you where it is sebab this is our secret place and i don't want it to overpopulate with people who do not appreciate tempe.

HAHAHAHA

kesian makcik tu nanti bisnes dia tak mengembang

honestly i have nooo idea where it is, its next to a dewan. ask jihad lah okay?

that night we decided to go to BP Mall for some tomyam.

but everybody was still full

so we watched Immortal instead.

pfft. lousy movie. don't watch. just wait for the DVD

and then at 12.35am outside the mall,

this happened...

and this...

so yeah, to be continued...

jeng jeng jeng

roadtrip y'all!!!

2011-11-17T22:26:00.001+08:00

this is my traveling backpack. i think its 8 years old now. the last time i used it was... last year kot.

ive never washed it. not once. washing your traveling backpack is bad luck (im kidding)

anyway, im off to see jihad tomorrow. FINALLY! and im super excited because i'll be driving adam.

yay!

see you next week.

have an awesome weekend peeps!

talkshow on mute

when i was this yeeeeee big... *showing the height of my waist*

i remember watching this malay drama in the afternoon after school on tv. and its a story about a family. from no children, until they had children who likes to play at the playground until the children grew up and was driving big cars. that's the typical storyline. in between everything, of course there was the dramatic part, son fell in love with maid's daughter, they eloped, yada yada...

but the one thing that fascinates me the most is the children. and how all of a sudden after 15 minutes, they became adults!

okay, now that i'm older and old enough to think, of course i know that they use different actors. the child actor and the adult actor that people are swooning over.

but try to explain that to the me version yeeee big. well i'll be damn. i seriously thought that these little children, they actually grow up you know? and the cast and production of the drama had to wait for years so that the children can grow up and act again in the same drama as the same character once they are older.

imagine if my theory was true? like they literally had to wait. then i think most of the movies that we're watching today, we might not be able to watch it. we'll watch it in years and years to come. for example, it took 10 years to watch 8 harry potter movies. foooooooh lama. lama gila! i already finished school and graduated from uni and started working!

hahaha. to think about it, the tricky part would be this you know. you can see a lot of movies nowadays that goes on a prequel instead of the sequel. batman begins, spiderman reboot, x-men first class etc. so camne tu? how to reverse time and turn the adult into a child? hehehehehe. alaaaaah. starwars did it waaaaat, anakin skywalker turned to darth vader turned to anakin skywalker... =P

the kitty update

2011-11-13T12:40:00.008+08:00

sunday activity morning before everyone gets bathed

and thank god the names have been finalised

mama cat basking in the sun

comel is all tired since she's having a wee fever

manja is all curious with the camera

same goes with Ligat

Chenonet will never sit still

Comel getting all jealous since she can't join the fun

Manja forcing a smile. tak tahu senyum. pout boleh la

the one who is always camera-shy

"look ma, no hands!"

spot the climbing cat

joins the fun but cannot play

that hunting pose

my paws might get wet

"look ma, i'm spiderman!"

running...

run in... got spooked by something la tuh

*the end*

the big fuss

2011-11-12T00:46:00.005+08:00

so today, or yesterday since its already 12.45am on a saturday

its the eventful 11.11.11

and everybody was updating their facebook status on how marvelous the date was.

and how you should celebrate it

and how nice it was at 11.11 am or pm

but there were also a few party poopers who went on and said its just another date, so how come this one is special.

heck.

people i know got long called today. more than 5 persons to be precise.

people i know got married.

so what eventful thing happened to me today?

i finished my chambering. (that was a few weeks ago) but today is my final day at the office.

since i asked for a month's break before starting work again.

i had ikea meatballs for dinner while planning this kickass roadtrip to celebrate the end of 9 months and the beginning of being responsibly serious

i treated the officemates to my favourite cupcakes from cupcake chic

so meatballs and cupcakes on the same day. thats eventful riiiiight.

to the future, bring it on.

kalau ada, ada.

kalau tiada, tak apa.

rezeki masing-masing.

work harder.

(p/s: so for this year, "that thing at the end of the year", i still get it. 3 weeks is sufficient la kan?)

and today i am inspired to get a haircut like these.

pixie haircut.

that thing at the end of the year

2011-10-30T19:47:00.002+08:00

I spend 6 years in primary school

another 5 years in high school.

another 5 years in tertiary school.

im 24 years old now. so all in all, i spent 16 years in school.

thats like 2/3 of my life.

two thirds.

and in all those years spent, at the end of the year and even in the middle of the year,

we "students" get something others dont.

a school/semester break.

for at least 2 weeks to 2 months. it ranges.

and my mom will never ever let me find a part time job or do anything else other than sit at home and kumpul lemak, or just help out with the house chores.

her one reason was: adik when you start working, you wont get anymore holidays like this/these.

this year, i sort of started working. i started my pupilage. its onlyy for nine months.

and last week, was my final week.

im soooo used to having long holidays at the end of the year. 16 years of long holidays at the end of the year.

but this year, no more long holidays.

sedih betul. like seriously sedih betul.

boleh je kalau nak long holiday, but then i have to start job hunting again la kan? hehe

dear eng of year long holidays, finally, i bid you adieu! gooooodbyeeeee.

*sedih*

night run again

2011-10-26T18:41:00.003+08:00

two weeks ago i went for another night run. putrajaya night run by BSN.

i entered the fun run again because i wanted to run around the buildings.

the rout was a wee bit different because we ran straight up to the PICC (i think)

putrajaya international convention centre? i think.

there were gamelan and gendang being played after the starting horn.

so instead of running, people paused to take pictures of the guys playing the percussion.

it was so lively and unexpected. very 1Malaysia. hehe.

and at the top of the bridge where we had to do a u-turn, there were cheerleaders and drummers as well.

akmaloh and ash also ran the 5km fun run.

akmal (jihad's bf) ran the 10km. he just bought new running shoes so he was quite excited.

i ran later but i finished before he did. HAHAH.

its fun having youre friends around to support you even though they didnt run. jihad came all the way from batu pahat. and fyza came all the way from sentul.

so what do you do when your besties are in town, you camwhore like no one's business. =D

pictures are courtesy of akmal and ash.

akmaloh had to work the next day. poor girl.

next run: nike's we run kl 10k

it'll be 10km.

i havent done 10km in ages and im quite worried.

5km already left me a bit winded. 10 km? thats next month. on the 27th.

wow wee junior juice

the story of cats and poops

2011-10-14T18:00:00.004+08:00

kucing kucing oh kucing

i have nothing else to write other than on the topic of cats. theyre very intelligent you know. i still cant believe my whole office sort of had a meeting on cats last week. its quite funny really. ida's master is trying to look for a solution to make sure that cats dont poop on her newly installed deck. she asked us our opinion. i havent told anybody at the office that i now have 5 cats at home. ima told me a long time ago that pet shops sell cat repellent which you can spray at places where the cat often visits and this will keep them away. i used to have a problem with stray cats pissing at the shoe cabinet or around the house. trust me their piss stinks baaaaad. but in the end i didnt buy the cat repellent so i dont really have an idea how it looks like or how it works. so confidently i told ida's master that it works and she can get it at the pet store. then my master commented on how cats are really sneaky and intelligent animals. smart as cats but dumb as dogs. not literally. all animals are smart, its just that we are exposed to cats more.

cats hold grudges against any human who treat them cruelly. the victims? me, my master, ida, ida's sister. our stories have proved it. if you chuck a slipper at a cat to shoo it away while it does business on your lawn, it will definitely poopoo there again the next day. and the day after that. and the day after that. they hold grudges you know? and i do chuck slippers. but it wont hit the cat directly. it will zoom past it perfectly. dont throw things at cats or other animals. okay? not cool. so anyway, the next day it poopooed again at our garden but a different spot. and all of us also shared the stories on how the cats scratched our car purposely. take for example my car, since the cat hates me (that particular stray one), it purposely scratched my car with its claws the night after i sent my car for polishing. great huh? RM180 just flew out the window. because i chucked a slipper which zoomed past that cat.

the same thing happened to my master. the same thing happened to ida's master. hahaha.

so... the conclusion is, when a cat does its business, just take the poop and stuff it in its face instead of chucking a slipper at them. HAHAHA. im only joking. nowadays if that stray cat poops, i just clean the poops. but that stray cat rarely comes now. i saw it just now, after a few months of missing in action. i think papa cat is doing a great job in protecting the baby kittens and mama cat so that the stray cat doesnt come anymore.

i assume. to assume is to make an ass out of u and me.

have a great weekend peeps. tgif tgif tgif

list three jobs you'd consider pursuing if money didn't matter

2011-10-02T11:36:00.005+08:00

i was tagged. so why not? time to berangan

first job

a cute little bookshop owner, limited new titles but unlimited inexpensive books. tapi boleh order and we'll get it to you as soon as possible.

i want it to be close to home so that i can travel to work on a bicycle with my cat in the basket. nyehe

it sells book, and has a cute cafe next to it which only serves coffee, tea, hot chocolate, lemonade and chrysanthemum tea.

some delicious pastries and finger sandwiches. the heaviest meal would only be mama's nasi lemak.

hehehehe

ni gambar bookshop saya.

=D =D =D

second job

papa's and mama's driver. anywhere they want to go, i'll get them there.

hehehe

third job

grocery shopper for the elderly.

get a list of groceries from an elderly who wants help,

go to tesco or any other supermarket,

and purchase it for them.

yay!

p/s: i love reading books outside under a tree.

i had the opportunity to do that last week.

they have nice trees and benches opposite the palace of justice.

who wouldve thought.

that short moment in between a heavy schedule

and the breeze there was just nice too.

heaaaaavenly. =)

hello october!

2011-10-01T10:53:00.007+08:00

warning: bawah tu ada gamba tetek. hahahahah

its october already! final month of my chabering period! hip hip hooray!

the weekly round-up y'all!

1. started the week with a quick breakfast with the bf after court! breakfast when both of us are working. something really really new. i loike=)

2. ended the week with a mee maggi party at legal aid in the newly organised store room. hehe. i am seriously going to miss crazy moments like this one.

(picture courtesy of khai)

3. since papa took a few days off this week, i was able to wake up later than usual and witness some amazing sunrises from our house.

4. managed to get a glimpse of a full rainbow too extending from guthrie highway to the elite highway on my way to putrajaya. its been a while since i last saw a rainbow.

5. kucing updates!!

so mama cat is now fit and healthy. no longer caged up and i think her spaying stitches are now healed. she no longer kicks away the baby kittens when they want to be nursed. happily nursing them now. she doesnt have that lost look in her eyes. eating like normal and so very the manja!

the baby kittens are now two and a half months old. they sure grow up fast.

and now we have names! although not finalised yet.

chenonet, comot, kelabu and chocky.com.

the one staring into the camera is sort of my favourite because she is sooooo well behaved. this is kelabu. princess of the family. i notice that the female baby kittens are much more manja compared to the male ones.

and these two pictures are the after effect of a saturday morning bathing session.

shampoo baru. bau sedap. straightaway hunted the mother and pressed themselves against her to be nursed. mengade punya kucing.

so yeah, so far, everybody is excited over "cabaran ramadhan papa"

and other than the beginning and the ending of the week, in between was just work work work work.

i need a shoulder massage.

tetek

2011-09-27T18:03:00.002+08:00

this is what happens when the truth hits you directly on the face

i think its an amazing advert

credit to nike and my bestest friend

mama cat's doctor is very hot. very hot.

2011-09-24T21:30:00.003+08:00

so now mommy cat is know as mama cat.

the receptionist told me to write her name and i couldnt think of anything else.

mama cat it is.

its quite funny hearing the receptionist calling out to everybody

"MAMA CAT? MAMA CAT?"

whoopsie. thats me! (me pushing through a throng of cat owners so that i can make payment)

imagine, a vet, ive never been to a vet before.

its busy alright. like a human clinic. like whoaaa. you have to register your cat and everything.

name: MAMA CAT

breed: huh? wtf? stray cat?

age: oh my god. i have noooo idea.

male/female: easy! female!

we took mama cat to the vet to get spayed. and vaccinated. and dewormed.

spayed is a term used for a female cat and neuter is used for a male cat.

dalam bahasa melayu, "sunat" can be used for male and female.

same goes with circumcision i think (have to check on that)

so the next trip is next month. to be vaccinated again. and again the month after that.

then it will be next year.

by that time, chenonet, ke-en, kitten with no name yet 1 and kitten with no name yet 2 will be old enough to get spayed and neutered.

the father cat likes to linger around them nowadays. he's still wild though. but its nice to have him close because then the other stray male cats dont dare to come close to the house.

in fact, i cant remember the last time i see a male cat wondering about and marking its territory here and there.

good news there! no more random poops or cat piss

hmm... i like it when i scratch them and they purr.

mama cat is uder quarantine now. for 5 days. poor kitty

the conclusion is, im so not ready to be a mom. this is just a mommy cat and 4 kittens.

its not even a child yet. and other than my nieces, the other children dont like me.

oh dah phobia dah.

passing judgment #1

2011-09-22T21:28:00.004+08:00

i leave to work at 6.30am

i send my papa to work

not because im a workaholic

its because i love my parents

i dont want my mama to send my papa in the morning

then fetch him again in the evening

shes been doing that for the past 5 years

its the least i can do

now she only fetches my papa in the evening

my papa is unable to drive. and we refused to let him.

why? i wont tell.

although i love my work,

i love my family more

so yeah, call me a workaholic for leaving for work at 6.30am, laugh at me

i'll smile back at you. and pray that you will spend more time with your parents.

like how i am. every single day.

i bet you dont even bother to do that.

pity you.

relationship graph drawn by a novice

2011-09-19T21:18:00.004+08:00

everything in life has a graph.

or is it, you can make a graph out of everything, if youre creative enough.

i was going through some rough papers to be recycled when i found this.

i think i drew it when ida was about to enter into a relationship with her current boyfriend.

you put two girls together in a room, and when both are overloaded with work, the relationship talks will begin.

i think we did a good job on the relationship graph thing dont you think?

but beyond that, saya tak tahuuuuuuuu. saya novice.

so to those who are in a relationship now, at which point of the graph are you at?

shaved ice, steak and lasagne

2011-09-18T21:36:00.004+08:00

since its a long weekend la kan?

make the best use of it to go satisfy your tummy with your loved ones.

friday night's menu:

steak at las vacas

was introduced by the bf and now is the only place i'd recommend.

juicy steak, nice ambience. i think there's quite a number of steakhouses with a similar concept popping up, but so far im still sticking to this one.

this is the beef wrap.

long beans, carrot and cheese wrapped with beef.

and the steak.

words not needed.

since it was a public holiday, it was a fullhouse. so thank god we reserved a table.

0378740711 nah, ni nombor dia.

go google for directions

friday evening

akmal (not akmaloh, the other akmal i.e. jihad's bf)

introduced me to this shaved ice thingy

ABC modern kot.

sedaaaaaap.

tuttifrutti? whats that? kena timbang? pfft.

baskin robbins? huh? kena tunggu wednesday? pfft.

this one is a waaaaaay cheaper substitute.

i think for RM8.90, it can be shared, for two at least.

lagi sedap kalau takda jagung.

at iceroom, kota damansara. white and green building opposite giant

takda phone number. cari sendiri.

saturday lunch

i gave up cooking lasagne because of this.

i rarely give up cooking things, but this one im going to throw in the towel.

hanya masak lasagne bila perlu sahaja. kalau tak perlu, then go to the vanilla place (i think) at empire subang

located opposite toys r us, and order chicken or beef lasagne.

sedap. betul. tak tipu.

selamat merdekaraya!

2011-09-11T10:58:00.008+08:00

good morning beautiful people!

(long entry alert, long entry alert!)

two weeks already?

my notebook died on me... it refused to be charged.

so now im using mama's notebook to surf and working hard to collect some money to get myself a kickass notebook idaman.

that should be around next year i hope. =)

HOW WAS RAYAAAAA?

one week off. spent time with family and friends.

but i have to admit, although it was a week off, hari raya was really tiring.

preparations. cooking. entertainig guests. pergi beraya. clearing up. washing up.

it was tiring, but in a very good way.

this year it was selangor's turn. not as busy as the one in kelantan. plenty of time to entertain the closest family members.

hari raya in selangor and in kelantan, is totally different.

it is not the opposite, they just have their own identity (if it was alive) like twins you know? (apelah aku merepek ni)

like in selangor, the first day of hari raya itself, we're still busy, but not as busy as in kelantan where guests kept on coming in non stop.

instead in selangor, we'll be busy the night after that pakcik announced at 8.40pm sharp that "hari raya aidilfitri jatuh pada 30 Ogos 2011".

haaaa. time tu mama panic. sebab orang nak datang takbir raya. hehehe

so now i guess i will have to write about takbir raya.

usually there will be 20-30 people. they will arrive in motorcycles or they walk.

and gather in the living room. takbir tu sekejap je. very fast, then they will eat.

menu will be decided by papa. since hes the head of the family and is very fussy on what to serve them.

i was quite impressed by papa this year although i did frown on his decision at first.

he wanted to serve icecream to the orang takbir. ICECREAM?!

but it turned out quite well. everybody enjoyed it. we bought 6 tubs of walls' icecream. and served two scoops per person.

it did seem logical since our house was the 2nd last house. and by that time everybody would be stuffed the the food from the previous houses.

so nah, rumah saya is now rumah uncle icecream. ehehehe.

and then off they went to my wan's house. which was the final house.

preparation for this is a whole day, takbir lasts for 20minutes. fuh. hebat. tapi best!

hari raya itself, no photos sadly.

contrary to popular belief, i think my family only take family potraits on hari raya aidiladha. hehe. when things are much calmer and more private.

so nantikan on hari raya haji when i will force everybody to smile at the hummer on tripod. okay!

once in two years

this happens...

i will join my high school friends to go beraya at all the houses available! hehe.

so yeah, thats my baju raya in yellow.

it will reappear again in the family potrait on hari raya aidiladha. =P

the first stop was mariam's. whose now a teacher. a very disciplined one too.
sakinah is expecting in february!

2nd stop was at arip's.
whose mom cooked the best bakso everrrrrrrr.
there was also satay and spaghetti.
but bakso was the bomb!!!

3rd stop was irman's.
who on the spot cooked us mee bandung. dari kenyang terus jadi lapar balik.
he really knows how to cook. AND bake cookies okay! i was doubly impressed.

our 4th stop was at wani's.
who made some baked pasta and a huge chocolate cake which i managed to steal the recipe and is planning to bake soon.
sedaaaaap. moist choc.

and our last stop was at sakinah's. who just moved into her new apartment.
where we shared ghost stories and everybody ended up being scared of going into the toilet. haha!

other than my family, these are the people who never failed to keep me grounded.

thats my hari raya update.
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI!
maaf zahir & batin

p/s: mommy cat and baby kittens are doing fiiiiiine! i think my parents decided to keep them. hehe. just gave them a warm bath and massage this morning. now theyre fast asleep under the table. theyre out of the box now. and theyre cute little tummies are sooooooo bulat! geram.

ketupat, kuih dan kucing!

2011-08-29T16:00:00.004+08:00

esok raya?

yesterday, or was it the day before i woke up to find this on the kitchen table.

a continuation of the ketupat making session from my previous post.

but this time its more serious as we get our hands into it.

pusing2 daun palas, tonyoh masuk pulut manis and sambung pusing2 lagi

until we get this.

too bad making ketupat palas is not my forte.

by the time i manage to make one,

mamatok has already made seven. SEVEN!

-_______-"

ended up not making much and just watched mamatok.

at the end of the day, she managed to make over 150 ketul.

impressive,

now its my turn to eat.

this is what you call ketupat jantung...

it sort of looks like a heart...

or more of a jantung pisang.

hehe

FAVOURITE KUIH RAYA?

while papa has been busy buying kerepek this and kerepek that,

no one remembered to buy this.

batang buruk. who came up with such name?!

tak buruk langsung okay. sedap.

my favourite kuih.

RM10 at shah alam PKNS.

sedap sebab murah and tak manis. turns out that the fair ones are not the tasty ones because they tend to use flour instead of tepung kacang (nutty flour? hehe)

i was worried because after i bought this one, which i thought was ridiculously cheap, i saw a fairer batang buruk being sold outside in a plastic container retailing about RM30 per container.

turns out that the one i got is just fine. and much better i assume.

this one uses NUTTY FLOUR. hahahaha.

and

cornflakes cookies.

sedap nak mampos.

another favourite.

ima's aunt makes the best ones so far.

and without fail, every year, will be stuffing ourselves with these.

this is what greets you when you open our cupboard under the stairs.

you get raya kerepek and cookies, instead of harry potter.

and this is new.

the green thing.

kerepek pis. HAHAHAHAH.

funny name.

peas crackers.

im so pis off with you so i eat kerepek pis.

jahat la cakap camtu. tak baik.

kerepek pis you.

and finally. i didnt do as i was expected to do.

i didnt go around asking my neighbours whether they have lost their cat and kittens.

mommy cat is still staying with us,

this is mommy cat drinking milk.

this is one of the baby kitten, trying to play peekaboo

and this is another baby kitten, trying to escape!

theyre so cute!

so, esok raya ke?

little miss sunshine

2011-08-26T21:43:00.003+08:00

i miss sitting down and talking about nothing to everything

to.just.sit.down.on.a.patch.of.grass.and.enjoy.the.view.

no awkwardness and plenty of silliness.

HAVENT DONE THAT IN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES.

one week holiday to look forward to.

hip hip hooray

"cabaran ramadhan papa"

2011-08-23T20:48:00.003+08:00

mama is very sensitive with having any pets around the house. VERY SENSITIVE. she doesnt like it.

she hates the smell when they poop around, she hates the fact that she has to clean it up since everybody else is working.

especially cats. see where im leading you?

mama doesnt really like cats. she wont let me keep one as a pet, majorly because im allergic to fur.

BUT I LOVE CATS. i admit that im a dog person. but i cant keep anything with fur. im allergic to it.

and im stressing that point.

guess what now. i have FOUR KITTENS in a box under the dining table at our kitchen verandah.

four kittens and a mommy cat.

papa has been treating this mommy cat to cold fresh milk every night. she'll always come by at 11.45 pm

and will start purring at everyone who'd give her a scratch or stroke.

a few weeks ago, her stomach grew bigger. a few weeks after that she had the litter.

and two days ago we discovered that she moved her litter and relocated them under our bbq pit.

mama went all sour. because we've never had any pets before, and eventhough she took care a few cats when she was young, she always discouraged me from keeping any stray cats or pets.

it was almost the start of world war 3 when she found out that there were kittens outside her kitchen.

but one sentence changed the whole scenario that night.

"takpe mama, ni cabaran papa bulan ramadhan ni"

i need not say more.

we now have a box under the dining table at our kitchen verandah. there are FOUR KITTENS.

which are so adorable. and mommy cat and baby kittens look so happy and safe in that box.

thanks to mama. she prepared the most comfortable looking temporary cat box.

i dont want to give them names, because then i'll grow attached to them.

this weekend i have to find out who mommy cat belongs to, i have to ask the neighbours.

then i have to return the FOUR KITTENS. and the mommy cat.

sedih, but its for the best.

i cant have a pet cat remember? im allergic. =)

the neglected hummer

2011-08-21T12:04:00.005+08:00

kesian my camera. although i am very much in love with it, im starting to think that it's quite heavy to be carried around. sometime.

excuses excuses excuses.

or maybe im not as avid as i was before.

the hummer is abandoned. on numerous occasions. but it still serves as a trusty tool to snap photographs!

although i mostly rely on my phone camera nowadays.

oleh itu saya pun kobek kobek la my hummer just to check out the last few photos that i took.

mak aih. sikit nyeeeeeee.

so it starts off with dinner at itallianies.

took the boyfriend out for his bday dinner.

and my chance to satisfy my craving for creme brulee.

italiannies' ones are the best so far.

no eggy smell with the light and creamy texture.

a random picture i took while chatting with mama on a random sunday evening.

our humble backyard.

no flowers, we aren't friends with those flowers, they require too much TLC

so we're only friends with wild flowers like morning glory, and the rest are herbs. haha

the aman+aida cardboard paper cutouts at kak aida and bebert's wedding.

i miss the get-togethers we usually have prior to the two weddings. =)

haaa.... this is the cutest thing ever!

a miniature aerogram!

found it at that cheap kedai runcit. selling for RM2. a whole stack of it!

if i discovered it like 2 years ago, the boyfriend might find these on his windscreen every time i spot his car.

but now i think i can just shove it in his car. hahaha.

comel gila nak mampos okay.

except for that loveydovey poem thing that they like to use for decoration.

ada grammatical error pulak tu! ish -_____-"

it folds into this!!

oh god jiwang. with that heart thing.

soooooooo high school puppy love.

*blush*

EROX (one quarter of it) SUPPER!!

kat a&w pj. stuffed myself with waffles like theres no tomorrow and felt ill afterwards.

no lah. u can never get ill by eating too much waffles!

fun and laughter til late.

i miss these people.

and i think everybody miss LLB days too.

not the classes or exams, just the firmates and friends.

this morning.

found these on the kitchen table.

since mamatok is around, we'll be making ketupat palas for raya!!

so kena lipat2 dulu so that the leaf is spread out evenly.

i had nooooooo idea what ketupat palas was, blame it on the sleepyhead

until mamatok showed me this!

my favourite okay!!

looking forward to making them soon.

my baju raya is a yellow kaftan. made with love by dearest mama.

i love!

decisions.

2011-08-16T22:11:00.001+08:00

41 hours and 3 minutes to think about the future.

this is tough.

sunday morning in the middle of august

2011-08-14T05:53:00.003+08:00

was woken up this morning with this song in my head

and i think i broke my personal record by posting the earliest ever sunday morning post

dont mind the video. theres credits in the end with an avril's song -____-"

the real video disallowed me from embedding and i cant be bother to look for an alternative.

subheadings are fun! weeeee

"iftar"

pejam celik pejam celik, we're halfway through. so fast kan?

and eversince i starterd working, there's nothing interesting i can write about. because i dont want to write about work. but that's where i spent more than half my day at.

if i want to write about berbuka, then i dont have pictures. it'll be really weird, taking pictures of your berbuka food while azan sedang berkumandang. macam -____-"

i just learned this year after almost 10 years, the meaning of "iftar". thats another -____-"

the best place is always breaking fast at home. or anybody else's house. i love that homey feeling. surrounded by loved ones.

if berbuka outside, then youre always rushing. amatlah tak best.

yesterday i had a really nice berbuka with the cuzzies and aunts and uncs.

nasi kerabu, tak buat, tapau, tapi sedapnakmampos. sebab it tastes almost the same as the one we usually cook.

and we ate in its polystyrene container. just to save the washing up after.

seems that eating from a polystyrene container gives you the feel like eating outside.

but surrounded with loved ones.

so yeah. nasi kerabu sedap. tapi no pictures. because then it'll be like -____-"

abang danial

i want to tell you that mama just sent your car for a wash. a week ago.

and i drove your car yesterday to get some air kelapa.

and your car is still sooooo bloody shiny sampai angsa yang guard that shop went up to it and played with its reflection in the mirror.

i had fun watching them until all of a sudden there were weird knocking noises.

angsa dok patuk your car. HAHAHAHAAH.

tu lah. keta kilat sangat. no damages (i hope, i didnt check). kena patuk tak kuat kot.

i want an angsa. theyre so cute.

spring cleaning

the wardrobe. chucked out half of its contents. not worn in a year.

oh the picture is epic. i'll post it up soon. three bags full.

i cant believe that my wardrobe is capable of storing three bags full of clothes with more spaces to spare.

chucking out old clothes was like... a breath of fresh air? yay

now im working hard to replace them. hahah

breathe and breath

here's how you use it.

i cant BREATHE

and

my BREATH stinks like poo

good morning people. have an awesome sunday!

i need to run errands and go hunt for a building in the middle of jalan ampang.

this one shirt

2011-08-13T23:37:00.003+08:00

i used to have this big love for wearing my dad's shirt to sleep.

papa has this awesome collection of shirts and this habit of buying new ones like twice a year.

they were never expensive but the material is soft enough to sleep in.

heck if im lazy, they can be worn through out the whole day too.

that was years ago. tak da lah lama sangat. 2-3 years je.

now im only left with one shirt which i nicknamed my go-to shirt. big baggy pink with stripes

the best shirt to sleep in. specially on cold nights when you have a cold!

baju sezen

who needs lovers when you have friends?

2011-08-13T14:09:00.001+08:00

me. still

3R = ramadhan, roadtrip, radio

2011-08-07T20:21:00.005+08:00

ramadhan

one week. how was yours so far?

one week, how time flies right?

to be honest, i'm really thankful that the "masters" allowed their muslim staff to go home at 5pm.

on the basis that we clock in at 8am. they didnt want us to sacrifice our lunchtime.

so at least we can get 1 hour rest in the middle of the day.

going home at 5pm is such a pleasure. being able to help mama prepare all the necessary.

in my part, im in charge of drinks.

air kelapa for mama, teh o panas for papa, and ice cold water for mamatok.

and as for me, its always fresh fruit juice.

dari mana aku dapat craving tu pun aku tak tahu.

it started this year. kalau tak dapat fresh fruit juice, rasa pelik.

so this juicer at home is getting quite a work out.

and mama has been complaining that i dont eat much.

kalau makan banyak time buka, mesti takleh sujud. heheheh

its the same excuse everybody uses.

but its tru-uuuue

terawikh = so far so good. alhamdulillah

roadtrip

i traveled to johor to kidnap my boyfriend

and now hes back here

driving from johor to selangor was AMAZING!!

the whole journey is/was the best part since it rained all the way.

all the cars were extra cautious and courteous, which i love! and i loooooove speeding in the rain

yippeeeee

so for the time being, the long distance relationship drama is on a pause

radio

ADAM HAS A NEW RADIO!!

after 4 years! i finally saved enough money to get him a new radio.

heck, thats like rm100 per year.

im such a cheapskate.

i love the old radio. the original radio. its just that, when youre stuck in a jam and you only have a cd player and the radio is playing some stupid tunes with a lot of adverts, things can get really emotional in the car.

hence a player with an mp3 and a usb plugwhole thingy hopefully will solve the problem.

we'll see how it goes next week.

gosh those buttons looks really sexy okay.

and the sound... earorgasmic

and it comes with a free clicky 4gb pendrive that has all my collection from the lappy in it now.

lepas ni kena convert the CDs pula.

weeeeeheeeeeeeee

on a side note, i have 2.5 months of chambering to go.

after that im not planning to work and i want to work from home (i wish)

my late night high

2011-08-03T23:27:00.002+08:00

nothing beats full cream

nothing can beat this too.

i think danial bought it. since he's away... let me slowly finish it.

the. best. combination. EVER.

and to finish it all off...

then off to bed.

niteynite

the jealous type...

2011-08-01T21:19:00.002+08:00

...thats me now. tapi takda lah sampai nak bunuh orang. heesh,

this song is so pelik.

dia macam tak boleh nyanyi, but her voice match the tune

like someone who has a flu and the voice is all whiny

but it works. how weird...

oh izzati please stop laughing!

thanks arnie kecik for posting it up

my love hate relationship with Mr Potter

2011-07-31T23:07:00.003+08:00

i remember that it was a wet day, very dull, a typical welsh weather during the autumn.

papa just got back from his lab, and he announced that he bought me a set of books, which were on a ridiculously low price at blackstone's bookstore at the student union.

i was really excited because i was at the age when the reading bug bit me. i can finish an average young adult book in a few hours.

but when he took out the first four harry potter books, i seriously could not hide my disappointment.

i hated the story. i hated the fact that everybody around me, even the news were talking about this stupid boy.

like who the hell is he that people were going crazy over. just a boy with a scar and a wand.

thats it. nothing big.

so the four books were placed neatly on the white shelf next to our fireplace where we put the tiny tv.

trust me that book was left there for a year. almost a year. until the next summer.

i was on a school break, and i had nothing left to read. except for those four books sitting neatly on that white bookshelf.

so that was 10 years ago. that summer was a turnover.

i stopped hating harry potter. i sort of had a huge crush on him instead.

that was when i had that puppy love thing going on and i just started having my period. the girly hormones hopping everywhere.

i kept on reading and re-reading the part in book 3 (the prisoner of azkaban) where harry fainted and fell off his broomstick while playing quidditch and one of the dementors got too close and sort of sucked the happiness out of him which resulted in him fainting.

my goodness was that a creepy crush or what.

he.he. (malu)

thank you j.k. rowling for giving birth to harry and sharing with us his magical journey.

and to the actors and actresses to for having to carry the role of the characters for the past 9 years of your life.

when the final book came out, the 7th book, i bought it.

on the first day of release.

and read it. but didnt feel a thing, because it hasnt ended yet. there is still the movie coming up

so today, it ended.

i took papa to watch the final movie. just the two of us. he was the one who introduced me to the books.

he's the one who deserved to be there with me when it all ends.

oh gosh i was sad. yup i cried. non-stop crying.

nothing to comment about the movie. it made me cry.

that's it. i grew up with harry potter. and now i'm 24.

10 years. thats a bloody long time.

dont blame me for crying like a baby tonight.

my children is going to have an awesome bedtime story session with harry potter.

i will make sure of it.

lepas tu baca doa tidur.

selamat menyambut bulan ramadhan.

the other and better night run

2011-07-31T22:26:00.003+08:00

finally my wish to see the lighted government buildings around putrajaya came true!

and i ran around them too!

so no VLog this time because i camwhored like crazy. best gila bila ada camwhore partner in crime!

the buildings were quite majestic at night. the lights were attractive. and 5km was just nice!

a fun run it was.

so lets leave it to the pictures to do all the talking okay!

pre-run photo. the vest are suuuuuper cute! baby pink with a racer-back design.

ida even got a matching pair of shoes, pants and scarf! (first run excitement. hehe)

this is the first 2.5km..

gambar baru habis lari sebelum beratur nak amek goody bag!

gambar selepas ambil goody bag!

oh and this picture is priceless. depan istana kehakiman y'all!! heheh

lalu je, weh, gila contempt! =P

and most definitely a picture with my favourite building so far.

it exists! and its bloody environmentally friendly!!

and there you have it, all the stuffs inside the goody bag.

it was so heavy until it left a mark on my shoulder.

next run will be this coming 15th october insyaallah.

another night run around putrajaya too!

when papa dropped the bomb.

2011-07-28T20:42:00.002+08:00

the only answer i got from him was another question

"would they do the same to you if you were in their position?"

there you have it.

reminder of the day.

that sentence always make me think twice, thrice... i dont know how many times

not so late night muse

2011-07-25T22:04:00.003+08:00

random thought #1:

i love the fact that i am dating someone more intelligent than i am

it saves me a lot from doing the thinking

in the long run, i will have lesser grey hair from thinking less

nooooo lah... intelligence, it should not be a competition, it should remain as a compliment.

random thought #2:

toasted bread, is a joy to bite when it is warm

still crispy with melted butter and a really good spread of jam

random thought #3:

legal aid duties.

it does not happen often, which is very very good.

because when the day comes, i look forward to it, and really learn to appreciate the responsibility

it's a break from the usual office routine, but too much of it spoils you like a little brat

money is more important than helping the less fortunate.

the lesser they pay, the shoddier your work is. so far, only 10% acts otherwise

random thought #4:

i did this psychological test in the form of a group of random words hidden in a word search style boxes

the first word i saw was "FAT"

psychologically, that was the word that i think described me

that "FAT" word was in the middle of the top most row.

isnt that called cheating? bloody inaccurate i must say

one word for the puzzle

WTF

(i cheated, that's 3 words)

random thought #5:

i wonder what the final harry potter movie is like

tiap-tiap kali fikir, mesti berdebar-debar

tapi masih tak tahu bila nak tengok

random thought #6:

mama and i need a motherdaughter date soon.

it has been a while.

i am taking her to a spa. yes, a spa would be nice.

the final thought for the night #7:

izzati dan izwan dah dua tahun

gilabapakwhoa!

best sebab happy.

dan best sebab nampak semua orang lain pun happy

alhamdulillah

saturday run. looking forward to that.

will be running with ida. =)

have a great week. ramadhan will begin next week. lets make it a better one this year kay?

more tolerance, more prayers, more doa, and stay away from playing prank onto others

save all that for hari raya =P

the ice cream daydreamer

2011-07-24T23:11:00.005+08:00

how come we don't have ice cream vans in malaysia?

we have those pak cik aiskrim on motorcycles, selling all sorts of aiskrim malaysia, aiskrim roti, and aiskrim batang.

but no ice cream van with those jingly tunes serving vanilla, chocolate or vanilla and chocolate ice cream

with cadbury flake, or peanut topping, or chocolate or strawberry sauce.

it would be awesome dont you think? since it is summer all year round.

but is it possible to sell a cone for rm1, and make profit each day to cover the petrol and the battery to run this baby?

i guess no wonder we only have the ones on motorcycles.

theyre cheaper, faster and more nostalgic,

but ice cream vans are so cool okay!

Kak Aida got hitched

2011-07-20T19:09:00.007+08:00

last weekend, another of my older cuzzy got hitched!

so two cuzzies got married this year. both weddings exposed all of us to equally amazing experiences.

location-wise anyway.

for abang erwan and kak nadia, the wedding was held very near to our house but with demanding meetings and rehearsals and pre-wedding preparations.

on the other hand, kak aida and bebert's was quite further from home but with a simpler concept.

so both are equal and hell no am i going to complain about it.

this time it was gotong-royong in the modern era.

the whole family got together to prepare for the hantaran, decorations, doorgifts, kutip sampah, you name it.

and the best part about gotong-royong and not having others helping us on the day itself is that i can steal all the photos and put it up here since the photos are mainly taken by abang erwan, abang danial and kak sakinah anyway! hahahah.

the wedding took place at tanarimba, janda baik pahang (i think that's the spelling)

we were there on saturday, having a picnic and helping to set up.

again, photos are courtesy of abang erwan, abang danial and kak sakinah okay.

i just love nicking them.

the hall! so green! there's pine trees everywhere!

shots taken after the akad ceremony.

kisses to the newlyweds!!

the cuzzies and cuzzies-to-be photosession at our photobooth after the after-party

tabik pilot! jyeah!

we pray that both of you will have a blessed and happy life together forever sampai anak cucu cicit!

i have never seen everybody working so hard together. go chopchop crew and running errands!

oh bangga bangga!

another round of wedding this weekend!

habis je sembilan bulan ni.... im going to disappear for some time

2011-07-14T20:27:00.003+08:00

last night i watched something quite refreshing on tv

i cant remember what it's called but its not on the travel channel although it was about travelling

around malaysia i must say!

and hosted by none other than my local crush! this dude down here.

of course i was glued until the end of the show!!

he's sooooo hot.

luckily enough it was actually the first episode. im not sure how many there are.

but i will be glued on it every wednesday night.

the best part was how he tried to sell the idea of going on a holiday.

by stating the facts and advantages of it.

like how you will perform better at work by waking up on a different bed facing a different view.

okay it might not sound as wonderful here as it did in the show. but hey it makes sense

we work soooooo hard and yet we dont treat our body and soul to such enjoyment.

holidays are important. make it a compulsory part of your lifestyle. quoted from the hot dude himself.

so yes. the end of this 9 month period, i will disappear and wake up on a different bed facing a different view.

H-O-L-I-D-A-Y

explore the local islands and beaches.

all things green

2011-07-09T22:58:00.003+08:00

the roads are quite empty today.

the road in front of my house is oddly quiet last night and this morning.

all because of that rally.

and i was told to avoid heading into the city center. which i did so, obediently.

so instead of a lazy sunday, its a lazy saturday!

quite nice. i cant remember the last time i ever woke up at 10.30. maybe last year. 0__o

so the highlight of last week would be...

firstly i passed my ethics exam.

alhamdulillah.

although a lot of people were saying its easy peasy...

i couldnt take it too lightly.

malam sebelum nak telefon bar council tu, tak boleh tido! hah!

then the guy on the other end said, slowly "hmm... i'm sorry to say that you passed..."

bunyi macam aku fail. ish. drama.

next would be... the epic picture with ryan reynolds.

been planning it since the day the poster came up.

"ida, you have to take a picture of me kissing him! but on the day i wear black and white!"

and that was last week.

ida terrer gila tangkap gambar. she got the angle right. and i love it!

one shot. awesome!

and this is my weekend buddy.

i found this on the shelf.

havent read a play for quite some time.

this one is very witty.

the thing is, i cant remember when i bought it, and on what circumstance.

i rarely look for playwrights.

pelik...pelik.

oh and i have a new addiction.

the daily mail.

i love how they cover will&kate's trip. and her dresses are tres chic.

and the pictures they provide are supersharp you can see her mole!

see you sunday morning!

the act of random kindness

2011-07-06T08:22:00.003+08:00

i never update my blog when im at work (...or maybe i have)

i never use this laptop to update my blog (...or maybe i have)

i guess today is one of those extremely rare occasions.

the act of random kindness, it doesnt mean that you have to buy a random gift and give it to strangers.

it may be stopping your vehicle to let another through,

or leading a waiting shopper to your car so that he/she can take your parking after driving around in search for a space

or picking up something another person accidentally dropped and giving back to them

or helping another person out by showing them the direction

or making breakfast for the whole family

or... there's so much to list out.

it's endless!

donate books to the unfortunate

so yeah, act of random kindness

tangan yang memberi lebih baik dari tangan yang menerima.

be kind, and it's okay if they dont smile back or say thank you.

but if they are kind, then they will say thank you.

and although this video has nothing to do with this entry, well to a certain extent it has.

an act of kindness to mother nature by building a sustainable building in putrajaya.

i am seriously impressed.

i hope we'll be passing this building on the night run this 30th.

watch the video, it's really cool.

exiting this chapter and starting a new one

2011-07-03T23:17:00.003+08:00

1. im running again. ive stopped running regularly for a few months. but im starting again now. should do it regularly. i think i have a lovehate relationship with running. i found a new rhythm today and i think it suits me well. 15 mins of brisk walking to warm up, them 15 mins of running. and 5 mins of leisure walk. lets see how it goes.

2. iphone or blackberry, iphone or blackberry. or any other smartphone. the truth is, im not that interested yet. so im just going to get adam a new stereo system and be done with it. i'll still check my email and facebook via my notebook. =) and read books while holding real books. next year it might be different though.

3. alice grew up and became a lawyer... and lost sight of the rabbit hole. continues looking.

4. brownies. dah lama tak bake brownies. now i have cravings for my own brownies. how vain is that.

5. things are going to change a wee bit starting from this month. if you cant take care of yourself, then no one will. so do eat right, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, so that your immune system is on a high. that would result in clearer complexion and lesser headaches! a fruit a day keeps the doctors away. (guava contains a high level of vitamin C, ye, jambu batu)

6. happiness. its always in your hands. you control it and it does not depend on others. so if you want to be happy, clap your hands!

7. im getting comfortable with movies on saturday nights again. this was what i used to do. i just forgot. d'oh.

8. i miss my blue gym bag. rot in hell you stupid thief.

9. 89 days to go. then i should start getting worried again.

10. my only source of good music died on me. i should re-install it. but im too lazy. lazy is a good word nowadays.

11. rainbows are running away from me too! now theres only sunrise and sunset.

saya nak kumpul duit pergi paris

2011-07-03T10:59:00.002+08:00

by the end of next year.

i want to spend christmas there.

if tak sempat, then the year after

i want to celebrate my 26th birthday there

yes, saya nak pergi paris.

and do the eurotrip shenanigans

that house

2011-07-02T17:13:00.005+08:00

i was reading that free newspaper from papa the other day...

and something caught my eye.

the first ever eco-friendly home in malaysia... i think

or maybe there are many eco-friendly home in malaysia, but this is the first one that got some recognition from the media.

so anyway, the concept is not bad. i love that it incorporated the surrounding trees into its design

instead of chopping the tree down to build a house like most of our developers are doing today.

why not build AROUND it rather than removing it and replanting a small one later?

this house did just that.

and the best part happened the day after.

it was reported that the house was located somewhere in section 11 PJ.

during the drive to work, i asked papa,

"pa, where's section 11 PJ? yang sebelah ni ape eh?"

"i have no idea, papa tak pernah explore pun"

"oh okay"

so that's that.

dropped papa off at the hospital, and maneuvered my way out to work.

and then... TADAAAAA! AMEK KAW!

while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. i saw something familiar up ahead.

oh excited gila okay!

so that's the house.

that's the outer wall! wow! wow!

so yup, i found it. accidentally.

*bangga*

i see you

2011-06-29T15:23:00.001+08:00

epic.

tangkap gamba guna tripod sempena bithday

2011-06-28T22:23:00.003+08:00

its quite tough taking your own picture using a tripod and the self timer.

you need to consider the height, the angle, the background.

in the end, pap, teramik gamba sendiri semasa membetulkan kaki tripod.

and clearly you can see my zit.

izzati has a zit izzit.

now you know why i covered up my face like that =P

i have a zit and it aint that pwetty

oh rambut saya dah panjang! =D

dearest robot tayar besar,

happy 25th bithday.

thats a quarter of a century old!

read the paper today? the star?

did you see the front cover?

the lamborghini had an accident with the beemer

very impressive high speed car chase dont you think?

wow!

but the best part was, the source came from a tweet.

MY GOODNESS. a tweet. A BLOODY TWEET.

and that's the source.

kalau kaw cite a "tweet" dalam any of your work or assignments at my alma mater,

you'll be the new definition of the class clown.

front page pulak tuh.

a TWEET?

i dont know why im so emotional about this, but come on...

it's the news. and it's published. via a tweet.

this is beyond disappointment.

that's why i only buy papers when i'm desperate or if it's a sunday.

a tweet. pfft.

she said that love is always watching

2011-06-19T19:24:00.009+08:00

i dont like writing about my week. i like writing about my weekends.

that's usually when the good things happen.

i should change the blogheading to "i love weekends" instead

saturday.

VOLLEYBALL! first training with the guys of the selangor bar. awesome! ida and i thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

IT was the only thing that kept us motivated on friday. every 10 minutes, oh tak sabar nye nak main volley!

so there we were with another chambie, the only girls in the team, oh best gila.

though my arms are bruised and my hands are shakey, it was all worth it.

there will be another practice come wednesday night, and on saturday is the big match.

woot woot!

sunday

breakfast with kesayangan.

these two are amazing. catching up about nothing and everything once a month.

and how else to do it other than breakfast-ing and mcD's.

my booby pancakes

the love birds.

the random breakfast shot

the lack of sleep face takpeakusayangkaw

the face who managed to get lost even with his GPS weyweywengweng. hehehe =P

the proud face because she was treated with breakfast =D

yad will have a sleepover at my house once a month where we will talk and talk and talk until one of us falls asleep.

usually it'll be me.

okayrindubye

lately the hibiscus in our so called front garden is blooming like nobody's business! i love!

bunga kebangsaan. it should be made compulsory to be planted everywhere! hehe

sunday evening...

tootfroots with megat, obie and the BF!

it has been a while since i had one. no cravings for it whatsoever, so yeah, was a bit jakun.

and the weekend ended with this view from my room.

breathtaking.

yad got me a new dress! i loooooove!

may all of us be blessed with a happy week ahead.

semoga kesemua urusan kita dipermudahkan.

less fatigue and more energy!

*throws free powerbars to everybody*

and let the next weekend come rolling!

no, it's not yours!

2011-06-18T10:27:00.002+08:00

random memories that keeps me company

sunday morning mishap and wondermilk

2011-06-12T09:52:00.006+08:00

at the back of my head, i know eventually this will happen.

but whenever that ugly monster come bothering, i'll always ignore it.

i think this time, i should start taking it seriously or else!

my T-mate lappy is breaking down on me.

ayah mi always warned us, if your computer starts making funnyfunny sounds, then get ready for the worst.

well my notebook has been making funnyfunny sounds since last year.

and lately, as in the beginning of this month, it refused to go to sleep,

it'll wake up suddenly if the mouse is nudged, then goes on to making this awful zzzoooooooooooooo sound,

as if its protesting against its sleep! gaaaah! cam nak meletup.

please be okay until i can transfer all my data into an exterrrrrrrnaaaaal.

oh so anal!

other than that shnitzel of a drama, i think the highlight of this very tiring week is a date i had to wondermilk for dinner.

with dearest ida. wondermilk, is a very sensitive word at our office.

because we've been planning this date since the start of pupilage but it was postponed every.single.time!

up to a point where both of us thought: AH TAK PAYAH PLAN DAH LAH!

but last week we made it happen! yay!

it's been a while since i set foot at that place.

maybe the last time was when we bought the cupcakes for akmaloh's birthday picnic.

and that was like... two years ago? hehe.

so ida and i had dinner there. ida treated me to dinner, i treated her to cupcakes.

surprisingly, i know the cupcakes are delish, but dinner was delicious aswel!

especially what the other person ordered.

fries topped with gravy with mushroom and beef strips. i think that one can be shared for two!

i had a chicken pesto sandwich (i think). which was nice tapi cepat muak.

both the food we had was nice tapi cepat muak. so the best solution is to order one and just share.

or order two and share! hehe. regardless, both finished our food anyway.

so here are the pics! taken from ida's canggih phone camera.

but looking at them now, i think my phone camera is better! (ayat kamikaze)

the cupcakes for the night, we were on a chocolate roll!

chock mousse, white chock, milo chock, and another chock.

i invented all their names because i cant remember the funky names they had.

sedap! tapi mahal. empat ni for tujuhbelas hengget.

sedaptapimahaltapisedap.

me trying to be artistic konon

*slaps forehead*

ida's fries with gravy with mushroom with beef strips. hehehe

my chicken pesto sandwich.

first question was;

"weh asal sandwich kaw hijau izzati? ayam kaw pun hijau"

hahahah

ni dah jadi gambar wallpaper ida. HAHAHAHA.

oops kantoi

sebab izzati terrer tangkap gamba orang! =D

and this is the happy me in my uniform!

and mata bengkak sebab satu hari transcribing! yay!

happy sunday peeps!

you are never satisfied

2011-06-05T09:10:00.004+08:00

that title? i made a sketch of it a loooong time ago. when i was 19.

filled with everything that i wasnt satisfied with.

and the funny thing was, one of it was the digit 3.73.

i wasnt satisfied with my first semester result in pre-law. i wanted a 4.00.

crazybitch.

to think of it now, that's like fricking high already. but pfft. never satisfied.

i wanted more.

and i did get it, second semester, 3.86. but thats about the highest i could manage in my days of studying law.

tak pernah dapat 4 flat, and it all was all inconsistent results from then on.

2. haircut

oh having a haircut is the toughest decision ever.

i always have a haircut to trim my fringe. i hate it when my fringe gets into my eyes and disrupts my reading.

so i have to pin it up and make my face look extra round. hehe

anyway, it was twice! twice yet i never learned my lesson.

twice, i had a different hairdresser trimming my fringe for rm5 each, on different occasions.

because i need a quick one to get that lock out of my face,

but at the end of the day, twice, i drove my arse back to dearest theressa the day after to get it properly fixed.

only theressa can cut my fringe, and my hair to my expectation.

kalau theressa tutup kedai, izzati will have a hair like the wicked witch of the east.

i like my new hair, ringan doooowh! hehe

saaaayang theressa.

i will blog about her cute little shop one day. pinky promise.

3. pictures

i hate blogging without pictures!

but i havent been taking any pictures lately, if i took pictures of work, it would be very unethical and quite boring.

but jihad has been editing mine, every friday i think, since she has nothing to do.

so this random picture is my new "thinspiration"

HAHAHAHA.

buruk, tapi i have to salute her editing skills.

now im a blonde.

and yes, another picture of the sky.

the sunrays are dancing in the morning.

taken from the house.

I LOVE THE NEW SUMMER DRESS COLLECTION!!

*random*

just google any brands collection of summer dresses, and they are so amazing.

summer brings out the colours in fashion.

oh best.

p/s: dearest sayang, now you got me addicted to that song with the lyrics bersepah-sepah.

losing a friend

2011-06-05T08:38:00.002+08:00

i lost a friend this week. he was a good friend when we were in cardiff.

his parents and mine are good friends who met in university.

when we were in cardiff, they were staying in london.

so there were quite a few trips made to london and them coming to cardiff.

we also had a marathon weekend in a toyota estima exploring the wonders in europe.

we lost touch for a while once we came back to malaysia.

but we met up again with the family a few years back, and ever since that there were a few trips made to our house and theirs.

but ive never had a chance to meet him.

i will always see his sister, and his little brother but i cant remember seeing him.

except for messaging him once on facebook or writing on his wall a few times.

then he got engaged at the beginning of this year.

and we were all looking forward to attending his wedding some time this year,

his parents paid us a visit accidentaly one day and were giving us updates about the wedding.

i remember his dad telling me;

"i told fawwaz not to get married until his 27!"

and we all laughed about it.

but he's no longer with us and im sure that he will be missed dearly.

the boy who was awarded with a trophy by his school

"the happiest person ever"

because he never failed to make people smile. always humble and funny.

al-fatihah to fawwaz zulkifli.

oh bradley cooper, you are so hot.

2011-06-03T21:21:00.000+08:00

so.very.hot.

jihad yang jahat

2011-06-02T20:50:00.003+08:00

another random email on a wednesday evening.

jihad ni memang jahat orangnye.

tapi i love her to bits nevertheless.

now you know why i dont wear makeup.

tender loving care

2011-05-29T22:38:00.004+08:00

hello =)

i found out last week that watching a movie before sleeping and waking up the next day to work,

is possible.

i always thought that i'll be tired after staying up for a movie, but i wasnt!

so now as i'm writing this, im having a movie couch moment with mama watching letters to juliet.

movie ni tak best langsung. saw it in the cinema with fawah, it was quite dry.

but for the sake of tonight, its more than enough.

mamatok had a twinkle in her eyes while watching the finals of mentor just now, it was fun watching her.

mama has the same twinkle while watching this movie, its fun watching her too!

my weekend was extremely busy but fruitful.

my whole saturday gone due to work. the whole morning and night. i really wanted to finish it, and i did,

just before the game of the century started.

did you watch the match? i only lasted up until the first goal. football is never my thing.

but i was curious to watch this one because one of the radio dj said that barcelona played the sexiest ever football in europe.

i wanted to see if he was true. and he was. the way they played football something new to watch.

and yet, i'm still not a football fan. but damn sexy football they play.

sunday, today, almost the whole day was spent doing one of the things i love most.

card making.

the cuzzies, bebert and i spent almost the whole day preparing 200+ cards for their akad nikah.

a lot of tender loving care for the people that matter.

i love card making. i really do. penat2 pun, it doesnt matter. making cards makes me happy!

and making them with the people you love is an extra bonus.

cant wait for next week when we'll be adding on the final touches!

and as for photos, card photos are private and confidential =P

so here are random pictures of the sky i took from my office instead.

blue skies just before noon.

early morning sunrise

in the car with the late evening rain.

the day the weatherman predicted to having the same weather pattern until mid-may

rain every day. quite depressing.

this was taken the next day after the prediction of the weatherman.

tak hujan langsung.

so it shows, kita plan aje, Tuhan yang menentukan.

kaaaaaan?

330th!

2011-05-28T21:08:00.001+08:00

good lyrics.

highlights of the 2nd convocation

2011-05-22T21:44:00.004+08:00

i am honestly thankful that i get to spend my 2nd convocation with the people i love most and

doing things that i love most too.

the masters were awfully kind enough to give us days off to celebrate it thoroughly.

the night prior to robe-taking and rehearsal sessions

i get to spend it with these two beautiful girls and also our handsome BFs. =)

a quiet dinner for six at las vacas

jihad complain sebab takda gravy

izwan satisfied his craving for some beef wraps

and i wanted steak, so i got some.

hari ini dalam sejarah because we had never went out together with our BFs before.

triple date! best jugak triple date ni.

secondly, a quick photo session after the robe taking.

in front of the new hall, under the sun where the place was still empty

i got sunburned. been ages since i last had one.

a really nice catchup lunch of nasi arab at zamzam with the available EROX members.

updates, gossips, old news, gedikness, cute fights and bickerings that you get in the classroom.

noisy lot we were. but it was great to see the familiar faces i spent one year cooped up in a room with

how i miss them

and later...

main layang-layang for about half an hour while waiting for jihad and akmal to arrive for our padang pics.

two of my favourite pictures at the padang.

and the next day...

the best part was having seated next to my bestest friend of 5 years and more-to-come

watching people going up and down the stage, comparing shoes

(a bit disappointing on the shoe part because people played it safe. masscom had the most amazing shoe collection)

gossiping was fun nevertheless

with our scrolls later =)

the only picture i took with them on that day itself. =) 1.3 mp phone camera!

but nothing beats the presence of my whole family itself.

such a formal photo. but its the only one with abang danial in it.

hes the photographer. under-utilised photographer due to the heat! my bad. hehe.

yay!

baju kurung modern putih: free, kain mama.

kain batik hijau pucuk pisang: RM7, pasar khamis, depan rumah mamatok.

tempah baju: RM50

beg & kasut: recycle

kasih sayang ibubapa, abang dan kawan-kawan sepangjang llb: PRICELESS.

in love with D.P

2011-05-20T21:17:00.005+08:00

i admit that im never the fashionista but i do appreciate fashion

i dont really splurge much on clothes (i used to when pama gave me pocketmoney=)

suffice to say that i adore dorothy perkins' since...

...since i was in the uk and was still too young to know what it was

i love its design, the practicality of it, and the colours!

and i love all of the designs worn by these mannequins.

look at the dress and how it is longer at the back.

impressive isnt it?

soooo pretty!

and they have a sale until this sunday.

oooooo la la...

land of gods and shadow

2011-05-20T10:37:00.012+08:00

17th may 2011

we went to KLPac to check out bebert's photo exhibition entitled land of gods and shadows

its his intake of the life in bali, indonesia.

and the weather that day was super nice.

blue skies all around and bloody hot. but i dont mind.

i went with the big brother and we met up with the cuzzies and bebert's family there

the brother-sister team camwhoring while waiting for the others.

the place was quiet. public holiday i guess.

cute little cat on the table

cuzzies! arriving fashionably in a hot red car with the vroom vroom sound. heheh

cute little corner where the exhibition was

bebert explaining to everybody on the concept and story of each photograph taken

i think you'd appreciate each picture more once you know the story behind it and how it was taken

and what the photographer is trying to capture

i love the the fact that its in black and white

very mysterious

so all of us became very artistic on that day =)

a few random things i learned about the balinese

(just to show bebert that i was paying good attention to his presentation):

1. they pray 5 times a day, just like us;

2. they believe in reincarnation (hinduism) and so when one passes, there will be a ceremony to guide them to the next phase of life after death;

3. rice is their life, their everything;

4. their calendar is equivalent to a 6-month calendar. so one year for us, but thats 2 years for them (get it?) and there's a lot of ceremonies involved so some cannot leave the country due to the religious ceremonies and prayers;

5. they have nice beaches =)

ok tu je

group photo!

best!

and damn well we were sooooo proud of him

you should see the price for each photo

O________0

whoaaaaaaaaa

*bangga bangga*

and this was taken from the car on the way to lunch.

bebert's exhibition will be at KLPac until the 29th may.

its free!

go check it out!

so this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you saying im sorry for that night.

2011-05-17T23:01:00.004+08:00

the boyfriend was/is playing this song on repeat in his car yesterday.

amongst other song.

so i searched for it on youtube just to clarify a few things and found this version instead

with her singing it live.

not bad i must say.

but the thing that caught my eye was her dress!

bloody hell i want one like that.

its soooo pwettyyyyy and flowy and it looks nice when she twirls

two things to update soon:

another round of convocation.

and bebert's photo exhibition.

two of the biggest things that happened this week.

so.see.you.soon.with.photos!

kalau ada, ada. kalau tak ada, tak apa.

2011-05-15T11:39:00.003+08:00

nama lelaki sebelah kiri ni lokman.

jihad calls him kaman.

i call him luqe.

bangun pagi tadi teringat kat dia.

we had an awfully good time during pre-law in kedah.

i hated him for stealing my roomate away to borak2 at night. i want to borak2 too! =P

luqe dah habis llb dah. finally.

back then we made a promise.

the three of us, backpacking to europe. just to go to disneyland in paris.

and i was surprised that he still remembers that. haha! because i sort of forgot.

but now there's going to be 4 of us. sebab yad kena bawa her bf. baru seimbang for lodging.

so yes. angan-angan pagi ahad ni is in 3-4 years time, bila dah cukup kumpul duit,

DISNEYLAND PARIS, HERE WE COME!

in the mean time, wait for us kay.

insyaallah.

best tau angan-angan on sunday mornings.

have a great sunday peeps.

estrella

2011-05-10T22:16:00.004+08:00

sila pastikan pabila berlari-lari sejauh 5km di malam hari yang akan datang,

lagu ini adalah salah-satu lagi yang akan dimainkan di dalam mp3 player

hopefully by that time the mp3 player will be fine, kalau tak, nyanyi sendiri je lah.

plus this video clip was shot around the race route.

i came home quite early today. early as in leaving the office on the dot and was able to avoid the traffic

by the time i reached the junction before home, the school children were coming out.

gosh theyre soooo tiny!

first it was the primary school children. most had bags bigger than their body.

and wearing cute tudung and songkok. i wonder why the boys wore songkok, its not compulsory.

then i went pass the junction to my old high school.

these children crossing the road where there is no proper crossing.

scared the hell out of me as a driver. i became extra cautious in case one of them ended up trying to be brave and just cross without looking.

years ago, i was one of them, but i crossed the road using the universal rule of left, right and left again.

ohhhh so cute la these school kids! nak cubit-cubit pipi and pok kepala diorang and cakap

"blaja sungguh-sungguh ye. spm tu penting tau"

if you become a school dropout at the age of 16, i will spank your ass like there's no tomorrow.

pfft.

how time flies.

2011-05-07T23:49:00.004+08:00

dah nak 2 tahun dah.

i've known him for more than 5 years.

but he was just some random guy back then yang bawa keta myvi nama Bobie.

shy shy cat and he has a weird but great taste in music and a cute bum.

the rest i dont know. so takdalah kenal sangat.

and then, badabim badaboom.

the picture below happened (credits to fawah). and it all started from there onwards

sampai lah hari ni.

so malam ni terfikir lagi sekali.

wow. dah nak 2 tahun.

that's quite a big number. well it's more than 1.

an achievement.

*senyum kambing bangga*

and praying that there will be more to come! love you lots without wax.

p/s: i still have that dress and im still wearing it like its new. dah lebih 2 tahun dah tu.

gilabapak outdated dah that dress.

next run!

2011-05-07T10:00:00.003+08:00

the shape night run!

it started last year i think. everybody called it the putrajaya night run.

but this time, im taking it easy. only 5 km. hehe.

something that papa said the other day sort of knocked me sideways a bit.

the morning after the energizer race, everybody woke up as if our legs were about to give up any second.

and yes, we were complaining of the pain, so he just went, you pay rm60 to experience pain the day after?

where's the fun in that?

which is very very true i must say, since we're not competitive runners anyway!

i guess this time, we pay to have fun. and not experience any pain later. hahah.

and the goodie bag looks promising too.

excitinggggggggggg.

i hope this one will be better then the last night run.

the long weekend =) a LONG entry (with new videos! haha!)

2011-05-02T01:06:00.006+08:00

i have to admit, its really nice to have a weekend where you dont have to think about monday

once in a while.

hows your long weekend? a 3-day weekend makes you very productive dont you think?

and at the end of monday, you'd feel more eager to go to work because you have enough rest

(i hope this theory is right)

my long weekend was, BEST GILA!!!

on friday morning, a hell lot of work. but all were manageable.

so who got stuck in that bad traffic jam on friday morning due to the rain? i got stuck for 2 hours.

but no one noticed since everybody else was stuck in it too. so we laughed it off.

i even had time to browse through the news thoroughly and found my favourite picture of the day

do you guys watch glee? im slowly catching up with this show again.

watching it on star instead of downloading it since i know i will end up not watching anything i download.

i found this picture on msn and it totally brighten up my mood on friday morning.

the composition, the colour, the expression.

happiness. and ive always adored rachel's dresses in the show. i like her style.

coloured tights, classic dresses with a modern twist.

at the end of friday, the whole world was excited about this big event.

the royal wedding.

almost all the blogs i visited wrote about this.

did you watch it? i managed to catch the repeat later at night with none other than mamatok.

mamatok: adik ape nama bapa dia tu?

me: prince charles

mamatok: oh ye, prince chaaarles (with an english accent)

mamatok: adik apa nama gereja besar tu?

me: westminister abbey.

mamatok: uhuh. west-mins-ter abbeyh (with an english accent)

mamatok: adik apa nama istana tu?

me: buckingham palace.

mamatok: ha. besar tu.

hehehe. mamatok is so cute. pastu bile dengar diorang nyanyi hymns,

mamatok: haaaaa tu la macamana diorang sembahyang.

me: =)

may they have a blessed life together

and i bet a lot of people will agree, her dress is amazing

and tomorrow, there will be a lot of versions of this dress.

to be honest, macam pernah nampak je orang pakai. kebaya inspired i think.

and this picture below, i stole it from yaya's tumblr.

hilarious.

but like, wow obvious.

SAYA PERGI MAIN LAYANG-LAYANG!

and takda angin! ran around like a crazy person but it was great!

my big brother came back for the long weekend.

thats why i said long weekends are super fun.

went to watch thor with him.

"i want a horse"

HAHAHAHAHA

and the part where he smashed the mug because he wants more coffee

HAHAHA!

highly recommended. go watch! it has all the elements to become an entertaining movie.

comedy, romance, action, suspense, hot body, cute heroine, supporting casts

i didnt know natalie portman was the main actress! shes beautiful!

and finally, just now, switchfoot's concert in a very dodgy looking hall at a dodgy looking area

despite having to wait for an hour to go in, because the queue was long,

THEY WERE AWESOME!!!!

like whooooaaaaaaaaaaa

kinda sucks that it had to be at THAT hall. it should be somewhere else. kenapa tak dekat pwtc ke...

regardless, AWESOME!!!

and best sebab ada dua bodyguards. =)

nah, ni lagu diorang. this is the first one i can find.

oh oh! and this one!!!!

and so, that was my long weekend. the best part is, tomorrow is monday and i get to wake up late.

and hang out at home with my parents, and see the boyfriend again.

mr agassi!

2011-04-27T20:49:00.002+08:00

went for a walk today with ida. first to the bar council and then to menara tun razak to sort out the BM paper exemption certificate.

alhamdulillah everything went smoothly.

we walked around dataran merdeka. she showed me the route there and i was showing her the route for the standard chartered run.

im not sure whether i want to join that run this year or not.

i still have until may 14th to decide. another 2 weeks i'd say.

the weather was fine. i miss walking. its not that comfortable to walk in office attires.

but it was nice to feel the wind blowing through my hair.

rambut saya dah panjang tau!

*bangga*

stopped by at atria later to eat some chicken. KFC craving. pfft.

and went to my favourite place in atria and got myself this!

andre agassi's autobiography for RM10!

awesome!

will finish off mitch albom's by the end of this week and will start on this next week!

i used to be really curious about andre agassi when i was small.

because i remember him playing tennis ever so elegantly. no cockiness.

and that HUGE HAIR. then all of a sudden he went bald. and got hitched to steffi graf?! like wth?

so i guess by reading this, all my curiosity will be answered. =)

im paying a visit to that place again next month because they have cecelia ahern's book on a discount.

woot woot!

on the way back the traffic after the tol was almost like the traffic at damansara tol in the mornings.

jam! huh? since when?

so kita pun layan lagu coldplay...

coldplay in traffic while its drizzling outside just like autumn

feels goooooood

tomorrow is thursday. then its friday. then its mothers day. then its switchfoot. then its labour day.

oh best nyeeeeeeeeee.

strangers

2011-04-23T10:54:00.003+08:00

those late nights in kelantan with my cousins on the sofas i always blog about?

we mostly talked about what happens in this video shown above.

i woke up this morning and saw dysof posted this on facebook.

like wow it sumarises everything that we talked about.

i cant believe someone actually made a video of it.

a pretty talented one too.

and i dont want this to happen to meeeeee *echo echo echo echo* referring to stage 6 onwards.

or stage 4 onwards!

and I CANT BELIEVE IM REFERRING TO A FRICKIN YOUTUBE VIDEO.

so at the end of the day, if we love someone, dont let them go.

yup2!

and by the way, i sorted out how to embed videos on my blog again.

saya guna google chrome! i dont like google chrome. im an internet explorer nerd. call me a loser now.

tapi oleh sebab google chrome tidak memberi saya banyak masalah, update lah blog guna google chrome.

ada video! yay!

happy weekend y'all. harini saya nak pegi dating yay!

the night race disaster

2011-04-18T21:45:00.004+08:00

the snapshot of us all sweaty and smelly. not because we ended the 11km run, but because we were stuck in the tunnel for 15 minutes filled with sweaty and smelly runners and the temperature was heating up.

a lot has been said about this race. read the paper, the facebook page, other blogs.

i can easily say that 99% of those who went were really disappointed with the organising committee.

to be frank, i enjoyed my run. the route was the sepang circuit. that's something to cherish. once a lifetime thing.

people are blaming the organisers. creating facebook pages which i admit that i "like" one of it just to see the updates.

someone even posted up a note written by the head of committee, one of those emotional notes saying that in the end it was her fault. i'm not sure whether that was her, assuming that it was.

i dont really blame her for not being able to control a large crowd. i just blame her for being too emotional on the microphone.

she could've used a nicer tone instead of a sarcastic, bossy, high pitched tone.

and i dont really appreciate screaming in the mic too. we can already hear you very well from the speakers.

screaming doesnt help. people can be very emotional when they're under pressure.

personally i think they were over-confident and under prepared. it takes a lot to handle 10,000+ runners.

and not all runners have the same mentality or discipline.

at the end of the day, its not 10,000 runners, its 10,000+ tired, hungry and dehydrated human being.

i wont do a VLog. there's not much to say. ran 11km in 1hour 45minutes.

the best part was the post-run.

we ran on saturday night, and my legs are fine today alhamdulillah.

i wanted a tub filled with hot water. i only have a shower. ima told me to run the hot water over my legs.

it works. they dont ache as much as they used to after a long run. i can easily walk up and down the stairs without flinching. but my knees still hurts a bit. still can walk though!

i hope they live up to their promises and send out the certificates and medals.

they dont have to send the goody bags, just donate the postage fee to charity instead, and i dont wear a tampon. to the organising committee: you messed up really bad.

and to the marshalls who were yelling at the runners, balik rumah, ambil wudu' kay, calm yourselves down a bit.

and for those who genuinely volunteered and did their job well, congratulations to you.

i think no more night race after this. it'll take a lot of convincing.

kisah adam

"adam" is the name i gave to my car. all my friends knows it as adam. it's my favourite name from the book and is still is. so when i got my car, i decided to call it adam. i never blogged about my car before. tonight is the night then. too bad there are no pictures of adam.

anyway, adam was a pre-21st birthday gift i got from my parents. they claim its a pre birthday gift to avoid having me asking for more on my birthday. the best gift ever i'd say.

to tell you the truth, adam wasnt really a birthday gift, its more of a necessity since i decided to stay at home instead of the hostel and wanted to commute to classes. adam's main purpose was for that.

adam's a myvi. because of its plate number, my mom call it Baby Jati Tajuddin. On the other hand, my wacky aunties call it Burik Jati Tajuddin. Adam, is black, the black hole of Calcutta. poor thing.

Last year, on uneven roads, adam kept on making painful sounds as if one of its front tyres was going to pop out of the its socket randomly and leaving him on 3 tyres. i tried everything at the service centre. grease it, changed tyres, added some yellow thingymajig so that it would absorb more shocks and muffle the sound. but they never last more than a fortnight.

then the last service, i decided to google the net for some tips. one of the proudest moment ever. a lot of people were complaining of the sound. it turns out that i only have to change one thing: the brake calipers. i dont know where exactly they go. but they are working so far. the mechanic said it should last more than 6 months to a year. hey if they cost only rm56 to change, that's not a lot right? changing them again 6 months time shouldnt be a big issue.

nowadays i felt guilty for ever thinking of selling him off for a newer car because of the noise its making. now adam is all quiet that it became a pleasure to drive him to work and back. i love the sounds it makes while cruising. best gila nak mampos. i can just turn off the radio and listen to adam. so there you are. kisah adam. may it have a long and healthy life to serve its master. his insides are so shiny nowadays its unbelievable. but outside, as per usual, cuci je hujan. hmph. adam... adam... kalau kucing spray lagi kat tayar hang, kita vroom vroom horn kat kucing tu supaya dia lari lintang pukang. pfft. tak senonoh nye kucing. i love my car.
